Re: Re: Can't edit my own message, & TOC examples
Nicely formatted post, Stephen. 
> Gary, I tried to make this TOC with a line under the "Page Contents" title. The only way I could get it to put a line under the title is when the box went the full width of the page. I tried a number of different ways and couldn't get the line under the title in the small TOC box. I'm Using Tiki 1.85, would that make a difference? Here is a sample of the 3 ways I understood how to make a TOC here:http://www.carrscorner.com/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Create+TOC
I don't have a 1.8.5 install to test with right now, so I'm not sure what the differences are in this area.
This seems to be somewhat browser-dependant. I can see a line in a div of any width, such as on this forum page . . . but I'm using Opera. I looked at your TOC example page with Internet Explorer and see that your second and third divs are stretching the width of the center column, while they have the desired size and layout with Opera. The easy answer is to get every visitor to use a browser other than IE, but that's probably expecting too much.

If you add a "width=30%" parameter (or whatever percentage), you can keep the box on the right-hand side of the page, and the underline still appears. I checked this with IE also. Having to put maketoc on a new line under the hr tag adds unwanted vertical space between the box title and content, but is unavoidable as both tags must be at the left margin to work right. I think a custom plugin might be able to solve some of these finer points.
> !!Upgrade or Wait?
> I currently am using Tiki 1.85. I have been trying to decide whether or not to upgrade to tiki 1.90. I have been talking with one of my friends (that I'm helping to set up a second Tiki website) about whether to upgrade or wait until a more stable release. I think that knowing about this inability to edit a previous message helps me to know that I should just wait for a more stable release.
I wouldn't call 1.9.0 unstable; it has quite a few new features, and IIRC 1.8.5 had its share of quirks, too, so I guess upgrading depends on your specific needs, etc.
> !!Expand Edit-Window Problem
> Another feature that needs fixing is the "expand editing window" in the wiki section of Tiki 1.90. Whenever I try to make the editing window larger, the buttons don't work. I hope both of these gets fixed in the newer versions.
Version 1.9.1 is on the way, too, but it's not good to wish too hard for any particular feature or fix — that seems to jinx the process; it's better to accept whatever comes with zenlike tranquility.
